Bug#783439: ITP: r-cran-readxl -- GNU R package to read Excel files

[Dirk Eddelbuettel <edd@debian.org>]

Package: wnpp
Owner: Dirk Eddelbuettel <edd@debian.org>
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : r-cran-readxl
  Version         : 0.1.0-1
  Upstream Author : Hadley Wickham
* URL or Web page : http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/readxl/index.html
* License         : GPL-3 (package) and BSD-2 (included code)
  Description     : GNU R package to read Excel files

This will become a run-time dependency of r-cran-rcmdr which has been in
Debian for a decade.  The readxl / r-cran-readxl package itself will probably
also become somewhat popular in the near future as it is better than the
existing .xls / .xlsx readers.
